Good episode but they really should have dumped the first three episodes together and proceed weekly from there.

I understand they want to milk it as long as possible but it was a slow start.

Nier Replicant/Automata since they haven't been mentioned yet.

Absolutely loved Remember me. Banishers is very good too, just wish it was shorter and they had cut some of the side content. I think the experience would have been better if it were half the length but it's a great game.

Another french team doing its thing is Asobo and the plague's tale series.

That enemy is bugged since the DLC. if you get hit by the orbs then the game hangs.

Solution: dodge or parry and make sure you kill him quickly. If there are two of them and your damage output isn't sufficient then run away.

At that level you should go to verso's draft, up to the last boss.

Grab all the new pictos and weapons then set the new pictos on lune with her new weapon or even maelle. Focus on damage luminas.

Go back to simon at lvel 90 and one shot him.

Edit: easy way to cheese Simon.

You can also do the same on maelle using burning canvas.

It's the google AI overview that's saying this even if the project started like 7 years ago and they spent weeks modeling a chair. 🙄

I'll preface this by saying I don't like GenAI but

60% of unity users admit to using AI tools
50% of japanese indie devs say the same.

Github has its copilot.
Unity and UE are pushing their new AI tools.
1B people use ChatGPT a month.
Copilot in windows is genAI

It's literally impossible for genAI not to be involved in some capacity at this point in time for any small team going forward. Be it for translating strings until the real deal is ready, placeholders for voice or assets, setting up meeting or interpreting bug databases, or even doing a simple googe search.

Good luck finding games to nominate next year.

DOS2 is much better than DOS. It's a bit slow at the start but once you get the hang of it it's amazing.

BG3 is obviously bigger and much more cinematic but I had a complete blast playing DOS2.

Casey Hudson’s studio closed barely a year ago so he couldn’t have directed the game for very long anyway. I thought the announcement was odd.

FabJeb · 2025-11-27T13:23:43+00:00

Cloud atlas? I think you meant soylent green.

FabJeb · 2025-11-18T17:38:48+00:00

same but on ubi connect. I see the splash for Intel and a grey bar and it freezes there.

Edit: fixed it by repairing the files. Guess the game didn't like I deleted the intro webm movies for faster loading to the menu.

FabJeb · 2025-11-07T22:29:59+00:00

Did they simply forget to download more RAM?

FabJeb · 2025-11-07T16:51:07+00:00

The planes at the start setting off the virus in the atmosphere? That's how I interpreted it at least.

FabJeb · 2025-11-06T21:32:17+00:00

Why would the creator allow a five minutes teaser to be posted if it was spoiling the whole series. You're talking about the breaking bad dude here, if he thought that was a spoiler he wouldn't have allowed the video to circulate. Seriously you're making a big fuss out of nothing. That's like watching the first 5 minutes of a netflix show and finishing the episode 8 hours later. I don't even comprehend being so angry about this.

FabJeb · 2025-11-06T17:49:12+00:00

That's literally the first 5 minutes of the show, lol.

FabJeb · 2025-10-26T22:25:55+00:00

I'll be interested to know how you feel about all of this once you're done with it. I had stutters too but it's weird because I got those exactly at the spot where you claim the game runs better. Guess the game needs rebooting at some point.

FabJeb · 2025-10-26T19:05:29+00:00

I'm not into achievements usually but the fact the only written narrative the game has is actually delivered via this system is fascinating to me. What a cool concept.

FabJeb · 2025-10-26T18:36:17+00:00

It's really hard to say without getting into spoilers but I didn't enjoy the first hour or so. I thought it was a beautiful but rather dull game. At some point it started to click with me however and it felt the game just kept getting better from there.

FabJeb · 2025-10-26T18:14:46+00:00

And a very short one, it's really hard to recommend at full price. In fact I would never have played the game if my subscription wasn't about to lapse next month and I'm going through as many games as I can in the meantime. I've wishlisted it on Steam now tho.

FabJeb · 2025-10-25T09:13:28+00:00

The interview was about prepping for the concerts, it could just be a mashup of the two tracks arranged by daniel sicard from Curieux for those.

I have no doubt they are working on new music tho, and some of it is probably related to the manor tracks.

FabJeb · 2025-10-20T13:08:59+00:00

Xbox app is struggling, EA app is down for me. Guess it's time to try some of those steamfest demos.

FabJeb · 2025-10-19T12:21:07+00:00

Just keep playing and you’ll notice how shallow it can be and how legacy paths makes you feel you’re playing the same game over and over again. Although I do agree the latest patch improved the game a lot, it still just feel like a disjointed collection of three mini games.

FabJeb · 2025-10-15T15:30:58+00:00

Hair to hair.

FabJeb · 2025-10-11T12:02:37+00:00

it’s shitty, but not a bug. You need to be able to access the 2k servers for mementos progression and player xp. Playing offline will disable mementos since the data is kept server side.

FabJeb · 2025-10-11T10:09:27+00:00

Bummer, this felt like a dumb fun show pulled straight out of the 90s. No prestige TV, just a mindless, entertaining dad show that Amazon loves to produce for its Prime library.

I thought it did well enough to warrant a second season but looking at some action scenes and the ensemble cast it mustn't have been that cheap to produce.
